Overview

Sauna, 6 persons, garden, 2 bedrooms, pets allowed

Would you like to live peacefully and know the lively capital nearby? Then you are rightly with us. Our holiday home lies directly on the city limits of Berlin-Spandau in two-family house in the country house style. You accommodate a large 90 m² apartment with separate entrance, comfortably furnished with 2 bedrooms, living room, winter garden (heated), kitchen and bath. Should you have had enough of Berlin, you can relax in our well-maintained garden (1.200 m²) or use the Sauna in our Sauna cabin in the garden. As you live right next to the Berlin district of Spandau, all tourist attractions of Berlin and Potsdam can be reached in approx. 30 minutes. Do you wish to arrive by train or by air? Shuttle service is possible. Fairs at the radio tower and Olympic stadium can be reached in 20 minutes. Shopping opportunities, savings bank, pharmacy, doctors, post office are provided in the settlement. Pet can be brought along after agreement.

Berlin in Winter: Berlin has a lot to offer in Autumn and Winter. Who wishes to visit a museum during the loveliest sunshine in summer? Winter is created therefore. A lot of museums and exhibitions invite you to visit. The various Christmas markets in the several urban districts of Berlin and in the surrounding regions are also lovely. The streets under the lime trees and Kurfürstendamm are a feast for the eyes during Christmas time. During this time you can shop almost round-the-clock long past the closing times of the shops in Berlin. Berlin is always open.

Water Sports and Riding: Berlin and its surroundings offer many water sport facilities. We ourselves are a member of the renowned Potsdam yacht club. Sailors, motorboat sailors as well as canoeists etc. are therefore in good hands with us. Water tours are also possible from Schönwalde - please inquire. If you own a canoe or rubber dinghy, bring it along. They can be placed in our garden. Riders and Polo players are in good hands with us. The Seeburg Polo field (approx. 12 km) and the Dallgow-Döberitz stud farm (7 km) are not far away. Horses can be kept there. Riders have various options for rides in the surroundings. There are stables in the next place where you can hire your horse.

Hikes and Bicycle Tours: Theodor Fontane had already praised the wonderful landscape of Brandenburg in his 'Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg'. They still have very good walking opportunities. Whether 'per Pedes' - as the Berliners say - or with the bicycle, you have a very beautiful landscape here, which - even without big hills - is wonderful to deal with for everyone. Bring along your bicycles or rent them from us, we have 3 bicycles for our guests in the 'Stall'.

Bad weather - Fantastic stay

We spent the 2nd week of May in this great home and had a fabulous week, not in the least thanks to Mr & Mrs Bonin. Berlin is a great city and after a busy day exploring it, it was great coming 'home'. The house is ideally situated in a quiet area and has a wonderful garden. The weather wasn't excellent but thanks to the patio heater we managed to spend a few ours enjoying the garden while having a drink and even 2 BBQ dinners outside. Mr & Mrs Bonin are really wonderful hosts. Every day they would check whether everything was OK and making a nice little chat without being intrusive. The house is perfectly situated; taking the train from Falkensee is ideal. Within 20 mins you're in the heart of Berlin and if you get the small-group ticket (up to 4 people) you pay 16 euros and this includes bus and tram for the whole day in the city! There's 2 supermarkets (1 within walking distance) that provide everything you need. One word of warning tho, the supermarkets don't take credit cards so take cash if you don't have a German debit card. If you're planning a trip to berlin, also make sure to visit Potsdam, but check the palace's opening hours - We went on a Tuesday and found the main palace closed, which turned out OK as there's plenty to see for 2 visits (which we did)

We enjoyed our stay very much and as we're thinking about another visit to Berlin in September we won't waste any time looking for another place to stay!

As the name so rightly describes, Schönwalde lies right beside a wonderful forest. The Schönwalde settlement was designed and subdivided in 1932. Many new houses and villas have come up after this turn lending a very beautiful character to the place. The properties are very large and we have an old forestland, on which there are partially oaks and partially bays, which are indicated as natural monuments and are already 400 years old. We have a historical inn in the place which was built 222 years ago and was used as a change station for horses of the stagecoaches on the way to Hamburg. You have many recreational facilities in the vicinity of Schönwalde, the Havel lakes can be reached within approx. 30 minutes by bicycle. We are located directly on the city limit of Berlin-Spandau. Therefore, you have peace, the big city but in the immediate proximity. Berlin is famous for its water wealth-- steamboat excursions are therefore a must.

Other Activities: Rowing, Kayaking, Polo

Golf: There are no less than 14 golf courses in and around Berlin. A paradise for golfers. The oldest and most beautiful golf course is in Berlin-Wannsee. Every golfer has surely heard of it, you must certainly play there once.

Bedroom 1 has a double bed, a large wardrobe, TV (satellite TV) and two rattan armchairs. Bedroom 2 has two single beds and a rustic wardrobe. Bedroom 3 is in the living room. You have a large double bed couch as well as a TV.
